After getting up in the afternoon and changing into a narrow-sleeved plain dress, and then asking Hongdou to help her comb her hair again, Mo Li went to the kitchen and started to make butter snails.

"Big girl, why don't you let me come, this place is greasy." Aunt Gu looked at Mo Li and took out flour and sugar, and said with a smile.

"Don't get in the way, you go and do the old ladies' dinner at night, didn't I come to the kitchen to help from time to time, can you do this well, just have red beans to help me." Mo Li had already poured flour as she spoke, mixed the cheese and sugar together, and asked the red beans to arrange the cutting board and other things.

"The girl will be busy first, and if there is anything to help, she will say." Aunt Gu said and smiled, "It's just that all these cheeses have to be used?" The old lady and the ladies and girls are afraid that they will not be able to eat all of this, and now that the weather is hot, this will not be able to last for a few days. ”

"Make more of them, and everyone will taste them later." Mo Li smiled, lowered his face, and focused on the work in his hand.

Seeing the butter snail a few times today, it always reminds her of the effort she once worked on for this snack and for that man, and her heart has been depressed for a long time. Back then, she put so much effort into it, it was actually for such a man, when she was in the restaurant before, she thought that she would never touch this dim sum again in her life.

It's just that on the way back, Mo Xue has always liked ghee snails; Grandma's teeth are not very good, and it is suitable for eating this melt-in-the-mouth dot; My mother always has a bad appetite on weekdays, and she needs to change her taste occasionally. It's just that the chef's skills in making dim sum are average, and the ones bought in the small shops outside are not very good, and the price is too high when she goes to the restaurant, and she doesn't do it better than her. Why would she waste this ready-made craft for the sake of such a man!

After the cheese and icing are reconciled, after patient boiling and straining, take it out and moisten it finely, mix it with the kneaded dough, and then roll it into beautiful snails with heart, and then put it into the hanging pot to bake. This process lasted for more than an hour, and Mo Li never left a single step, whether it was the control of the heat or the combination of sugar milk flour, including when turning the snail shape, she did not lend the hands of others. Gu Chef Niang originally planned to help, but then seeing that Mo Li's technique of boiling and straining was so skillful, she stood aside and went to work on her own meal, and after a while, she smelled the rich aroma of soufflé.

Aunt Gu looked back and smiled: "I don't know when the girl has worked hard, this craft, I am dazzled." ”

"I don't know what it tastes like, but I'll have to eat it for a while to find out." Mo Li smiled modestly, calculated that the time was almost up, and asked the red beans to help take out a piece. Hongdou took a deep breath, then swallowed his saliva and said: "It's so fragrant, it's more fragrant than the ones sold outside, it must be delicious!" ”

The freshly baked butter snails are pure white like jade, the shape is plump and full, and the lines of the snails on the top are slippery, looking at the past in rows, as if they are in full bloom.

Aunt Gu leaned over to take a look, and said, "Yo, this shape is really good, it doesn't have to be bad with the master outside." The smell is so fragrant, ouch, this hooks my saliva out, I don't need to taste it to know that the taste must be very good, how did the girl do this. ”

The two little maids who were busy on the side also came over with a smile and watched with a pair of greedy eyes.

"Didn't your old man watch from the side just now, this will still ask." With Mo Li's permission, Hongyu carefully picked one up and held it on a plate, and then laughed at Aunt Gu while blowing.

Aunt Gu twisted her slightly: "Little hoof, I'm not busy with the work at hand, how can I take a few looks." ”

"Auntie also try it." Mo Li handed one to Aunt Gu on a plate, and at the same time gave it to the other two little maids, and then said with a smile, "This is the most crispy and fragrant when eaten hot, although the fragrance will be reduced by one point when it is cold, but it also melts in the mouth, and it can also be tasted with tea." ”

After a while, there were voices of admiration in the kitchen, and Mo Li looked at everyone eating happily, and the feeling in his heart was slightly complicated. Han Sidao also praised her craftsmanship like this back then, but later, she ...... She exhaled quietly, suppressed the hatred, smiled and carefully put the ghee snails on the plate one by one, and left a copy for the kitchen for Aunt Gu to share with the maids everywhere in a while, and then asked the red beans to bring the basket. After carefully putting the filled ghee snails in, she went out of the kitchen to Mrs. Mo.

It's already evening, and this counts the time, just eat a mat before the meal, and then serve it as a snack in the evening.

Just out of the kitchen, Mo Li stopped after walking a few steps, and turned her head to ask Hongdou to go to the kitchen to bring the small silk box, and then she picked out four other butter snails and put them in it and said to Hongyu: "You send this to Ah Shengna, just say that it is another snack from the kitchen today." ”

Hongdou was slightly stunned, and then nodded and smiled: "The girl is really kind." But just as she was about to turn around, Mo Li stopped her again and added two butter snails to the box.

Hongdou hesitated: "He's alone, isn't it too much?" There are only two maids per person. ”

"There is another guy living in Ah Sena, since it is a snack from the kitchen, it is not good to give it to him only, these are divided between the two of them. Go ahead, it'll be time for dinner when you're back. ”

It's just that Hongdou just walked to Ah Shengna, and happened to meet him leading the big cart pulled by the donkey out, Hongdou was stunned, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Where are you going?" ”

"The beams in the house where the miscellaneous things are put are rotten, and the tiles on it are also broken, and the shopkeeper said that there are some suitable materials behind the entrance of Xiaoguan Alley, and he told someone today that I will go and pull it back." Ah Sheng glanced at her as he spoke, and his eyes stopped on the small filament box, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"What's the matter, I'm here to send this to you!" Hongdou glanced at him, and handed the box in his hand to him, "It's a snack from the kitchen today, and you shared it with Noble." ”

Ah Sheng took the silk box and opened it, and without saying anything, he first picked one and stuffed it into his mouth. Hongdou's eyes widened suddenly, and he said after a while: "You, what are you in a hurry, and you don't ask how you came here first." ”

"It's delicious, Aunt Gu doesn't have time to do this? Who did it? Girl? In just two blinks of an eye, Ah Sheng eliminated two of them, and then nodded and said.

"You-" Red Bean glared at him and opened his mouth, then paused and said, "You still eat, there are three for Noble there!" ”

"He doesn't like sweets, I'm leaving, thank you for me, big girl." Ah Sheng covered the silk box, let the saddle down, jumped on the big cart, and then drove the donkey away. Hongdou stood there a little dumbfounded, and only after a while did he say, "He's—he's too unkind!" ”

……

After dinner, the night had fallen, and Zhang Yimao and his brothers and friends who had drunk during the day came out of a tavern, staggering, hooking shoulders and backs, talking and laughing, and walked to the alley in a short time.

"I said, what do we mean when we see that today?" One of them burped and suddenly said something like this.

"Don't, don't care what it means...... Zhang Yimao stammered, "Well, it's the one who came over later, that little lady is very seductive!" ”

"Oh - the two sisters before, not more, even more coquettish!" The other continued, and then the three of them burst into a strange laugh, just as this moment a large cart with something came from behind and asked them to get out of the way. Zhang Yimao looked back a few times, but it was dark now, and at such a glance, he only saw a dark shadow sitting on the car. A few people burped, and they didn't know whether they were really drunk or fake, but they were scolding and scolding, but they didn't give way, and they walked side by side with their shoulders hooked, and their mouths were still the same as just now, chattering uncleanly.

Ah Sheng made a careful identification, that is, he recognized that the few in front of him were the guys he saw during the day, he narrowed his eyes, and suddenly jumped out of the car. In the alley after dark, there was a sudden dull sound, accompanied by a few pleas for mercy, but soon they stopped.

"It's cheaper, and it's cheaper." Ah Sheng took his shirt back from Zhang Yimao's head, put it on his body again, and then threw aside these guys who fainted after just a few punches, and then drove out of Xiaoguan Alley. Just after leaving the alley, he suddenly saw a boy in a snow-green wide-sleeved robe standing there looking at him with a smile.

Ah Sheng glanced at him and drove past him, but then he parked the cart in front of a nearby stall selling large bowls of tea, and then threw out a copper plate and told the stall owner to pour him a bowl of tea.

After drinking half a bowl of tea, he picked out one of the butter snails in the small silk box and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Brother Tai is really bold just now." After Xie Gexian Shi Shiran walked up, he stood next to the big cart and said with a smile.

Ah Sheng glanced at him and asked, "Something?" Or are you in the same league as those bastards? ”

Xie Gexian hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Tai misunderstood, he was just passing by, and he just happened to see it." ”

The bright and beating firelight of the stalls on both sides of the street illuminated the faces of the two men, and after asking the question absentmindedly, Ah Sheng withdrew his gaze and picked out a butter bubble snail and stuffed it into his mouth. The night breeze blew and sent the fragrance of the dim sum in his box to Xie Gexian's nose, Xie Gexian was slightly stunned after seeing what he was eating by the firelight, and suddenly asked: "This brother is so fragrant, I don't know if I can appreciate it in the next one?" ”

Ah Sheng was also stunned, and looked at the other party again, such a well-dressed boy could speak so calmly when he was begging for food on the street.
